The original members of the Ian family already numbered 3,000 people, and now with the slaves rescued from Mary Joy, the number has reached nearly 10,000!

Of course, among the nearly 10,000 people, there are many women and children to be excluded, but Ian knows very well that the remaining men, as long as they raise their arms, they will not hesitate to join the dragon hunter pirates.

At that time, the size of the Dragon Hunter Pirates will be at least more than 5,000 people, and the originally overstretched manpower problem will be greatly alleviated.

Moreover, the huge scale of personnel is also one of the symbols of the Four Emperors, with so many personnel, the Dragon Hunter Pirates have moved closer to the size of the Whitebeard Pirates, although it is not as good as the original BIGMOM Pirates, but Ian feels that it is enough.

The more people under his command means more people to eat, which requires money, so there is no need for Ian to remind them, when Hawking rescued the slaves, he also swept the manor of the Draconians, packed all the valuable things, and prepared to take them away when the time came.

These riches may only be a small part of the Draconians, and the really valuable things should be placed in the treasure vault, but no one knows how to open it, and Ian does not plan to abolish that god.

Mightily, after the procession of nearly 10,000 people arrived at the port of Mary Joy's descent to the new world, almost all the ships moored here were occupied, and the ships here were originally reserved for those caravans and envoys who had passes, but now they were all requisitioned by Ian, and a dozen ships, large and small, carrying happy people, rushed headlong into the current down the mountain.

Ian sat on the ship at the head, and as the ship tilted and sailed rapidly down in the current, Ian glanced back at the Red Earth Continent behind him.

I still remember the first time I passed through here, I also took a boat like this, but that time, the pheasant froze the entire downward current, and the speed of gliding on the ice was much faster than now.

Bang! The ship swooped down, and the ship was first pressed into the surface of the sea, but was quickly bounced up, and after a few shakes, it quickly calmed down, and under the control of the sailors, the head ship got out of the way, allowing the ships that followed one after another into the sea.

More than a dozen ships lined up in a large formation, and then, the members of the Ian family scattered on each ship took out a flag of the Dragon Hunter Pirates with their heads held high, climbed to the top of the mast in twos and threes, and hung up the flag.

The pattern of the long sword piercing the skull's dragon head was printed on the black flag, waving in the wind under the blowing of the sea breeze, and all the people on the ship invariably raised their heads to look at this flag, and at this moment, they all suddenly understood the meaning of this flag!

Woo ——!!!!

Above all the ships, the people erupted in unison with a roar: "Dragon Hunter!!! ”

In the roar, mixed with the crisp voices of children, it sounds extraordinarily ...... Clarity!

Vice Admiral Karp, ......who was also on the flagship of Ian, was also on the Ian, and he folded his hands, listening to the roar, watching the excited and angry expressions of the people, and there was silence for a while.

"What's the matter, old man?" Ian asked him.

Karp shook his head: "I've been a navy all my life and have caught countless pirates, but sometimes I'm confused, what kind of justice ...... am I guarding"

Ian didn't speak, he knew that Old Man Karp was probably feeling a lot now, and he needed to talk about it.

"Sengoku is my friend!" Karp continued: "But on the point of why the navy wants to maintain the Draconians, I have never really understood him before, look at these slaves, the navy is catching pirates all over the world, claiming justice, but pretending to be deaf and dumb about the existence of these people, I have asked Sengoku more than once why this is, but Sengoku did not answer me, I asked in a hurry, and pressed me with the identity of marshal......"

"Huh!" Ian smirked.

"However, after we retired and Akainu became a marshal, I realized what kind of efforts Sengoku made during his tenure!" Karp sighed: "With his prestige, he has been dealing with the world government, so that the navy will not completely degenerate into a thug of the world government, during his tenure, no matter what, the navy still maintains a detachment, but ...... After the bastard boy of Akainu came to power, this detachment disappeared! ”

"No way, after all, he came to power with the support of the five old stars, didn't he?" Ian picked up the topic.

"yes!" Karp nodded: "I kind of understand, why did Sengoku want Pheasant to take over his shift, he didn't want the navy to completely fall to the side of the world government and become an accomplice of the Celestial Dragons...... It's a pity that no one thought that the pheasant had only been a marshal for fifteen days, and he was brought down by the five old stars and the red dog......"

"The Sengoku Marshal must have been angry at the time, right?" Ian asked.

Karp grinned, "My lungs are blowing up!" It's the first time I've seen him scolding his mother! ”

"Now that Akainu is dead, who do you think will become the new Admiral?" Ian asked him.

As a result, Karp shook his head and said, "What's the matter with me?" Both I and Sengoku have retired, and after losing power, only this old face remains, but no one knows how much face is left of this old face! The Navy is no longer a ...... we can control."

"Yes......" Ian also said with the same feeling: "If you don't say anything else, just look at General Zefa...... The World Government asked Edward Weibull to join the Seven Martial Seas, without considering the feelings of General Zefa at all. ”

If I had to use one word to describe the style of the world government, the only thing Ian could think of was the four words "unloading the mill and killing the donkey".

In fact, like Capone, Sengoku or Vice Admiral Azuru, this wave of the older generation of the navy, their lives have been dedicated to the cause of the navy, and they have special feelings for the navy itself, even if they have nominally retired, but if necessary, they will also exert their residual heat, this is the real essence of the navy, imagine it, even if the navy has only maintained the tradition of three admirals, but who dares to say that the navy has only three admirals, it is a fool.

These retired navies of the older generation, just pull one out, they are all admiral-level combat power!

However, it is this wave of retired navy of the older generation that is now being chilled by the world government, whether it is the matter of Admiral Zefa or the matter of the pheasant running away angrily, it makes them realize that the navy is no longer the navy when they were in power!

In the original history, this situation has already begun to appear, but the appearance of Ian has undoubtedly exacerbated this process, allowing the serious internal problem of the Navy to completely erupt.

It wasn't until this time when he was chatting with Karp that Ian finally understood why Old Man Karp would use words instead of fists to dissuade himself after he appeared!

"Forget it, old man, since you have retired, then enjoy life!" Ian comforted him, "Isn't it enough for you to be glad that Ace kid is doing well in the Whitebeard Pirates, and Luffy has now entered the New World, and they all have a group of good companions and are going on their own adventures?" ”

However, Karp patted Ian on the shoulder and said, "Do you know what is the most gratifying thing for my old man?" ”

"What is it?" Ian asked with a smile.

"I'm most glad I met you when I was in the East China Sea!" Kapuha laughed and said, "And the thing I'm most proud of is that I had the whim to ask you to help me catch Ace's kid!" If it weren't for this opportunity, I'm afraid everything would be different, right? ”

Ian sneered and scratched his head.

"We old guys can't keep up with the times anymore, and this world will turn the same way without anyone!" Karp said: "So it's up to you young people in the future, do what you want, don't take care of us old guys, you, Ace, and Luffy, you must live as you want......"

Ian nodded and didn't speak......

The fleet faced the sea breeze, galloped on the vast sea, and sailed all the way home.

At the same time, the news that Akainu, the current marshal of the Navy, was killed by the Four Emperors Black Dragon Ian, was also reported by panicked journalists.

The impact of this incident is incomparably huge, but the first impact is something that even Ian didn't expect......

That's ...... The death of the Akainu made the guys in the Bad Guy Alliance finally make up their minds and prepare to do it!
